“I guess I never really knew how cold this house could get
without the alcohol and people helping me forget.”
– Jasper Wildlife Assoc.
Advancing past the early hurdles of “oh oh ohs” and the trite line “that sound that sound my favorite sound”, both of which are rudimentary content killers,
Bay Faction’s S/T (released 9/29/15) gains confidence and opens up to reveal a smooth and clean narration of reactions to emotional situations. By the end, you’re wanting more.
“[The album] concept is an observation of the culture surrounding our generation,” Bay Faction frontman
James McDermott tells
Bishop & Rook. “Primarily sex, sexuality and the codes and cues associated with the identification that comes with each.” The Boston-based trio is compromised of students currently taking time off from school to pursue the band and an upcoming tour to promote their debut LP. The tour kicks off via rock n' roll halfway house
Top Hat Factory (ask a punk) on October 9th and ends at
The Red Room Cafe 939 on November 20th.
An indie rock band with jazz influences, Bay Faction’s sound could play nicely with locals
